Wow. What am I doing here? I've asked myself this many times before actually posting this message. I don't know if I will ever find the man who is my brother, but I am hoping that somewhere out there he will read this message and contact me. We can only hope and pray, right?Several years ago I found a birth certificate in my mother's personal belongings. I was actually looking for my own certificate since I was about to get married and needed it at that time. I came across my 'brother's' certificate and was shocked as I was never told of this person. I do have one brother who is four years older than I, and the only brother I've ever known up until this point. As one can imagine, I was shocked, scared and confused as to what information I had just found. The birth certificate said the baby's name was Michael Anthony Morris. Born June 19, 1975 (which my birthday is June 18, 1974!) and the baby was born in a Chicago hospital that no longer exists. I cannot recall the name of the hospital but I do know that when I tried to contact the hospital it was no longer listed. I really don't know where to begin. I know this is a process that will take some time. I don't plan to ask my mother of the story behind Michael's adoption because for whatever reason she has chosen to keep that from me and my brother. I did ask my brother if he recalls this situation since he is a few years older than me. He says he vaguly recalls our mother having a baby while I was still a baby. He recalls seeing my father and mother sit down with a lady who took the child and handed my mother papers. We are assuming it was an adoption. My mother was in tears and brokenhearted. My brother went on to expose the fact that our mother might have been the victim of a sexual attack which resulted in her becoming pregnant. We cannot confirm this. I am reaching out to you all here because I have no where else to turn. I am scared to begin for I don't know what I will uncover. But I am scared not to begin the process for my brother is out there somewhere, probably looking for us. Priobably wishing he knew who we were. The ironic thing is, I've ALWAYS felt that I was missing something as a child. I am not sure how to explain it, but I never felt as if I was the 'baby' of the family for some reason. And then to find out that this baby is partically my twin is amazing to me. So, if he is out there... or if anyone has any information on how to find him, please let me know.Last Known Name: Michael Anthony MorrisSex: MaleRace:AADOB: June 19, 1975Birthplace: Chicago, IllinoisHospital: Unknown (the hospital no longer exists)Thank you all and God bless you in your searches.C.

What other information do you have, such as do you have the baby's birth weight/length?
I'm searching on behalf of my best friend Greg, who died before he could complete his search. He was born in August 1975 but I thought to contact you because you know they can and do change birthdates sometimes.
Before he died he had some information given to him from the adoption agency (Childrens Home and Aid Society) on his birthmother...and who can say how accurate it is, but they told him that she was married, petite, with light brown hair and blue eyes. He however was very dark complected and looked to be of hispanic or egyptian descent.
My email address is maternaladhesions@yahoo.com.
Good luck in your search, and if you'd like to go further with me let me know!
